Lenka was very knowledgeable. She was able to not only explain how to make the pastries, but how the ingredients worked together. She was very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed the class very much and loved the kolaches and babka!

Lenka was an amazing baking teacher as she guided through her grandmother's pastry recipes from the old country. My sisters and I treated my mom to this very special class for her 90th birthday and we couldn't have asked for a more memorable (or more delicious) experience. Lenka brought these recipes to life with her excellent explanations of how to make the delicacies. We had so much fun rolling and filling the dough, and later sipping coffee and laughing as we indulged in the fruits of our labors. It couldn't have been more conveniently located in the heart of Park City, and we left feeling like we'd made a new friend and went home with some fabulous recipes and plenty of surplus baked goods.

Lenka was a great instructor and made the experience easy and fun!
And it was exactly like visitor said, but no lunch…you eat what u baked!
Great for group of friends!

Lenka’s welcoming smile put us at ease as we entered her home where a table was meticulously set up as a work space for the four us, with all the supplies needed to create our own pastries.
She explained and demonstrated each step of the process and she absolutely was not critical of our mishaps or imperfections. And yes, we had a few.
The whole experience of kneading the dough, adding the filling and then forming the pastries was fun. And of course, they were delicious and not too sweet, which I especially liked.
I would definitely recommend, whether you live near the area or plan to visit the area.

Lenka?... you are a true gem! Our family had such a great time learning how to make kolaches and babka. She has everything ready, you get to bake your items there AND take some home to bake. Everything was delicious. Check out her website... she offers more than this class, as well.!!!

Lenka is a patient and kind instructor who opens her home for intimate cooking classes. My husband and I enjoyed baking after a day on the ski hill.

Lenka was kind and made the evening special for a couple who were celebrating their 50th anniversary. I would highly recommend her classes.
